Hi there! Welcome to my summer writing challenge. It has been a full week of writing and I’m immensely proud of myself for writing every day!
I spent the morning responding to a creative writing prompt but the final product was no where near ready for consumption.
So, instead of sharing that, I will be sharing a poem I wrote May 7th, 2021 at 7am.
I hope you enjoy!
I saw a quote today that said “stay with someone who feels like home” and I couldn’t help but chuckle.
I know how it feels to make homes out of foreign bodies.
I’ve made homes out of men who didn’t even have the capacity to offer themselves as temporary shelters.
When I read the quote, my immediate response was, “but I am home…”
A year ago I would’ve shared the short quote, maybe even commented on how feeling like home is an indicator of your capacity to love someone or be loved by someone
But I no longer need to make homes out of broken men; I alone am home to myself.
